This is the exact thing I had in Mind. I have a Bell Expressvu HD reciever. i was planning on expanding and getting a regular Bell HD reciever as well. Am I able to run both of these through SAGETV and access either in any room? I am renting my HDPVR is it better for me to return it and just...

How does sage handle multiple satellite recievers icentrally located? Does it distribute these to any room? does it handle multiple audio sources to multiple rooms like an audio matrix?

Good tips, I'm just really hung up on a CATX solution because I think it offers me the best future protection. Even if I went with a cheaper option of Component Baluns and matrix switches I could always convert to HDMI in the future if needed correct? What If i wanted to expand to whole...

Thanks for the reply, here is what I was thinking - Use HDMI baluns on CAT6 for my video and stereo sound, have 2 runs of CAT6 for this purpose to each potential video device (Living Room, Master Bedroom, Ensuite, Guest Bedrooms) - Use 4X3 HDMI Matrix Switch with two Sat Recievers in AV Closet...

You'll need baluns for cat5e or cat6, for HD video. -- Is this a better way to go than running multiple RG59's? Your speaker wire should be 16/4 or 14/4 (red/green/black/white) (16 or 14 guage, 4 wires). -- Are either of these better than the other? Each room will have a two way celing...

Ok so judging from the posts I should run - One RG59 from each room that requires video to the AV Closet. This will connect directly to the back of my TV then? - Audio should run from my Yamaha recievers using regular speaker wire? is this correct? - Would I set Zone 1 to my HDPVR sound and...

So is there any downside to running 10 CAT6 cable to each room and combine that with 4 speaker wires? WHats the downside to just using these?
